Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data, our study looks at the effectiveness of the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Externship and Core Skills trainings. It is the first study to evaluate EFT Core Skills trainings and the first to evaluate change longitudinally throughout the standardized EFT training program. We used the Hungarian EFT Knowledge and Competency Scale (Hungarian EFT-KACS) to examine self-perceived knowledge, competency, and alliance over three 4-day training blocks (Externship, Core Skills Modules 1&2, Core Skills Modules 3&4). Results indicate that each training block significantly increased self-perceived knowledge, competency, and alliance. During the Externship, participants’ knowledge increased the most and remained at this level after each training block. Competency showed a more modest but significant increase during the Externship. However, by the end of the Core Skills training, competency showed a significant increase compared to post-Externship results, demonstrating the unique role of Core Skills training in developing competency in EFT.

在情绪集中治疗中培训治疗师：纵向和横断面分析

使用横断面和纵向数据，我们的研究着眼于情绪集中治疗 (EFT) 实习和核心技能培训的有效性。这是第一个评估 EFT 核心技能培训的研究，也是第一个在整个标准化 EFT 培训计划中纵向评估变化的研究。我们使用匈牙利 EFT 知识和能力量表 (Hungarian EFT-KACS) 在三个为期 4 天的培训模块（实习、核心技能模块 1 和 2、核心技能模块 3 和 4）中检查自我感知的知识、能力和联盟。结果表明，每个训练块都显着增加了自我感知的知识、能力和联盟。在校外期间，参与者的知识增长最多，并且在每个培训阶段后都保持在这个水平。在实习期间，能力表现出更温和但显着的提高。然而，在核心技能培训结束时，与实习后的结果相比，能力显着提高，证明了核心技能培训在 EFT 能力发展中的独特作用。
